Answer:

q = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

the key thing to understand in this problem is the distributive property. which basically means we can muliply what's on the interior of the parenthestes ( in this case q-5) by what's on the outside (4).

so 4 will distrubute to both the q and the -5

4q - 20 = 16

add 20 to both sides

4q = 36

divide both sides by 4

q = 9
